EPSA PODCAST

In this EPSA Podcast episode, we explore Burnout Syndrome—what it is, why students and healthcare trainees are especially at risk, and how to recognize its early signs. We share practical strategies to restore balance, care for your mental well-being, and support friends who may be struggling.

Remember: burnout is not a weakness. It’s a signal. Taking action, seeking help, and opening honest conversations can make all the difference.

If you’re experiencing difficulties, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional support. Local emergency numbers and suicide hotlines are provided in the episode.
